Darius' mother stayed in Alexanders court and became so fond of Alexander that she thought him her son. she has been recorded to have quoted 'how is my son' to a messenger. when the messenger said her son, Darius had died years ago she had replied, 'Alexander is my rightful son I have no other. how is he?'

Alexander treated Sisigambis (Darius' III mother) as his own mother so that when she learned of his death she immediately committed suicide. Darius wife Alexander surrounded with the greatest possible honors that a queen could get in his court. Darius daughter, Stateira, Alexander took as his rightful wife.
